[ale] procmail whitelist

[Joe Steele]

Here's an example you could modify to suit your 
needs (some code from spambouncer.org):

WHITELIST=${HOME}/.whitelist
:0
* ? test -f ${WHITELIST} && (formail \
                                -zxList-Id: \
                                -zxCc: \
                                -zxFrom: \
                                -zxResent-By: \
                                -zxResent-From: \
                                -zxResent-Sender: \
                                -zxResent-To: \
                                -zxReply-To: \
                                -zxSender: \
                                -zxTo: \
    | grep -i -f ${WHITELIST})
${HOME}/inbox/friends
